There will most likely not be any more additions of features for the next release, just bug fixes for large bugs. I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone that has been working on PRs for this upcoming release, it has been incredible. This includes but is not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D
Another note: I have created a Matrix space for Thunder for anyone who wants to have general chat there or to get replies even faster. The link to it is here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
For things to test out, I would suggest:
- Test out everything you possibly can. Place heavy focus on general and most common actions (upvote, downvote, save, reply, comment, creating posts, etc)
- Look around for any issues with performance overall, or things that seem like they require an immediate fix
Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:
- Added initial way to block communities from the long press menu on posts. Long press a post in the feed page to show an option to block a community. Currently there is no way to unblock a blocked community, but that will come in a future release
- Added a whole bunch of UI tweaks and changes to post page, and in other places - contribution from @CTalvio
- Addition of community and user banners - contribution from @CTalvio
- Added pull to refresh to a few more pages - contribution from @bactaholic
- Showing collapsed comment count - contribution from @micahmo
- Sharing media directly as images - contribution from @michahmo
…and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down 😅

Editing my comments worked before.
I’m just using my username. I’m logging in via username.
I’ll try a fresh install
I did a fresh install. I still can’t edit at all. It was working before. Also, I don’t know what sorcery is going on but I cleared the cache and app data before installing thunder but after installing the latest nightly my accounts were already logged in. I don’t see how this is possible.
Hmm, that’s weird. I was sure the database was attached to the app itself but maybe I’ll have to take a closer look at that.
The local database which holds your username and token for authentication should be stored together with the app
Can you check if you have a thunder.db file in
data/data//databases? It might be stored there apparentlyIn the Android file system? I assume it’s hidden?
Yeah, It would most likely be in the file system somewhere if you can access it - I don’t have an Android device so I can’t help too much unfortunately.
I’m creating a new build as we speak to see if maybe I can fix the issues you mentioned with comment editing
I looked through the hidden files but no such directory exists that I can see
Here’s the new build: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.4%2B11
Could you test it out and see if you can edit comments again? Also, try testing out clearing app data/re-install to see if your accounts are still logged in. Thanks!
When I clicked reply to this message in the inbox, the reply button does nothing.
Ignore this: testing reply from inbox
Did it work?
Yup - I fixed this issue - creating another build right now for you to test out as well!
Try this build to test out the reply issue - this also contains the previous stuff to hopefully fix comment editing: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.5%2B11
None of my my comments are showing up in this thread but I can see them in other apps.
Reply works!
Have you seen the 2 replies that I’ve made to this comment from my inbox? They aren’t showing up for me.
Test 2. Not seeing the replies sent from inbox

I have noted the issue where comments dont show up - this is because I set a maximum depth to 8 on the comments. I’ll apply a quick fix again, and set you know so that you can test it out again
Try this build: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.6%2B11
Just a heads up: this is the last quick change I can do for the next little while! I’ll check this thread again later and see if there are any other issues that pop up!
